FRISCO, Tex. – Dallas Stars General Manager Doug Armstrong announced today that the club has hired former Stars right wing Rob DiMaio to the scouting staff. DiMaio will have both amateur and professional scouting responsibilities for the club and will begin his role immediately.

“We are very pleased to have Rob, a former member of the Stars organization, back in the fold as a scout,” said Armstrong. “Rob brings a great deal of experience from his playing days and he’ll be a valuable addition to our scouting staff.”

DiMaio, 39, was a member of the Dallas Stars for three seasons from 2001 through 2004, and in 199 games with the club, collected 55 points (25 goals, 30 assists) and 153 penalty minutes.

He also played in 62 playoff outings, notching seven goals and nine assists for 16 points with 40 penalty minutes.

DiMaio skated for seven NHL teams in his career – New York Islanders, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, Boston, New York Rangers, Carolina and Dallas. His most prolific offensive season came in 1996-97 with Boston, when he recorded 28 points (13 goals, 15 assists).
